Does Shaving Drip Rails = Leaking Windshield Seal?
I HAVE GOT ALL OF MY DRIP RAILS CUT OFF THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK FINALLY. BUT IN THE FRONT I CUT A 1" WIDE SECTION BACK TO SEE HOW MUCH GAP WAS IN THE CAB WHERE THE DRIP RAIL IS. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO FILL THAT 1/4" GAP LEFT WHEN THE WHOLE RAIL IS REMOVED.
ALSO IF I GET IT COMPLETELY SMOOTH IN THE FRONT, JUST LIKE ON SAY MY 97 TAHOE, WILL THE FRONT WINDSHIELD LEAK AROUND THE SEALS?? WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO ON THIS?? -AARON C. |

Personally I would widen the gap and work a new piece of metal to it with a wire feed welder........

I would think if you use a good sealer and gasket around the windsheild,it shouldn't leak.

You mean the windshield isn't supposed to leak on these?
